Lets's calculate LCM of 9574,1456
2 | 9574, 1456 |
4787, 728 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 4787 x 728 = 6969872
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/6969872
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 342/9574,174/1456 is 6/6969872
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 9574,1456 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(9574,1456) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(9574,1456) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(9574,1456) = ( 9574 × 1456 ) / 2
LCM(9574,1456) = 13939744 / 2
LCM(9574,1456) = 6969872
